How did the British discover India?

Answer 1

The colonization of India by Britain started when the East India Company was formed by some British traders, who saw an opportunity in India and took it. To store the goods they had they built many warehouses, which gave them an excuse to build forts and build up armies to "protect" them. Britain saw how well India was in the trading business, and wanted to take control of it to have all the trading posts for themselves.

During the time of the colonization, the many kingdoms were fighting with each other for many different reasons; they would also do whatever they could to gain some ground on the other kings. So when Britain saw what a great opportunity they had in front of them, they took it; this gave them a great advantage over the other kingdoms with the power and wealth they gained. They also took advantage of the people, training them to be soldiers and employing them for the British army; the new army was better trained and more disciplined than the smaller ones that they had come from. After time, the British were able to conquer very many large parts of India. They made treaties with most of the kings to keep them satisfied so that they would not try and fight against the British.

With the help of the Indian soldiers, the British were able to capture India; however, they in no way treated the Indians properly. Despite the abilities they continued to show, they were not able to rise to any higher position than being a soldier. To other British colonies, they were treated as slaves, and therefore acted like slaves. They did not care about them, so the education system that they had used for years "suffered under the British rule." In the year of 1857, the power that the East India Company had shifted to the British government, and then India was a British colony. They were forced to fight with each other; in fact, there were a total of 111 wars that the British caused, always making their Indian troops fight the Indian kingdoms that did not want to be subjugated to England. Only when the British had control of most of the country did they allow the people of India to stop fighting their brothers.

After they had managed to capture much of India, they told the people that they were to trade only with them, and anyone caught doing otherwise was punished. Even the people that weaved cottons and silks were made to sell and trade with the British, at a price that was not of their own choosing. Before the British had come, a price had had to be paid if you were going to bring goods into India; the British told them that the rule no longer applied to them and started to import many of their goods for free. The "India cottage industry" was probably what suffered the most; India had it's own handloom industry that was quite large, but in England there were many cotton textile mills. They needed a large amount of cotton for the mills, so they started to purchase the cotton at very low prices and send them to England; in exchange, they sent a lot of cloth over to India to be sold. This put many of the people that worked at the cottage industry out of work; the newly unemployed people had to buy the much more expensive cloth that was being sent in from England. All the wealth collected from the cloth merchants were sent back to England, starting the vicious cycle again.

"The Indian farmers, weavers, traders, kings, Nawabs, craftsmen were all unhappy and this discontent led to the mightiest revolts in 1857 which was also joined by Sanyasis, Fakirs, disbanded soldiers and British soldiers too." As the quote says, the people of India were not happy at all with the things they were forced to do. However, a few good things did come out of the British rule. They had introduced modern technology into India, which they might not have discovered for themselves for many years. The British had also built railroad all throughout the country, which was a faster and more beneficial way for the people to travel, as well as get their goods from one place to another. They had also made Law Courts, transport systems, and civil services that India did not have before, which greatly benefited the people later on. They had also built many schools and universities; India had of course had school beforehand, but not universities. The universities were places that they could learn more and get a better sense of western ideas, as well as "incorporate the idea of democracy." The factories they had built were used for many years afterwards; they were bigger and better then the ones that the Indian people had built on their own. Missionaries had come from England and spread Christianity, which they changed into their own religion to fit their own believes. Although the British had no right whatsoever to invade India, they improved it far beyond what it was before.

Answer 2

They didn't discover it. They fought the Persians and won it over.
